The Brazilians made their debut in the world’s premium club competition in December 2016 after they won their maiden Caf Champions League that year.
If Downs are to return to this competition, they will need to win this year’s Champions League title.
“I would love to go back to the Club World Cup and do much better,” said Tau.
“It is a great tournament, and hopefully, we always think we can do better with the coach that we have, he demands so much and he keeps us on our toes and makes us feel like we did nothing.
“We just want to keep going, we are seeing light and hopefully at the end of the season we will celebrate,” added Tau, who is currently with Bafana Bafana in Zambia where they are playing in the Four Nations tournament.
